If I had to describe Kaleigh’s senior session in just three words, I would say “proud, relaxed, and unique.”  When her mom and I first began discussing the session location, she informed me that Kaleigh was her “boots and jeans girl”.  Kaleigh is in the Police Explorers and was named Rookie of the Year in […]

The first time I sat down with both Kenneth and Gloria, I just had to ask about their story, how they met and how they got here.  Gloria shared that they met when she was 15 years old at the skating rink in Denton, and then happened to both get a job at the same […]

When I graduated high school I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up.  I was just ready to get out of town, and head to college.  It wasn’t until my second semester of my sophomore year that I finally landed in education, just in time to not have to cram […]
